Question

what is the distance between the point (-12,35)and the origin
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shortest distance from origin = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -12

y = 35

By Pythagoras theorem

The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal in area to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

${x }^{2} = {12}^{2} + {35}^{2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = \sqrt{1369} = 37$

shortest distance = 37
